The alliance between Blackwater and Heaven's Burial had a massive impact on Starmoon Kingdom's players.
Originally, the Sky Burial Society's influence in Starmoon City had rivaled that of the first-rate Guild, the Star Alliance. Now that Blackwater had joined forces with Ouroboros and taken over Starmoon City, nobody in Starmoon City dared to challenge Blackwater and the Sky Burial Society. Not even the Star Alliance dared to do so.
Practically all of the high-resource maps in the Star-Moon City region were occupied by the members of the two Guilds, and these maps had been designated as private areas for the two Guilds. If anyone dared to grind, level up, mine, gather herbs, or hunt Bosses in the fields, they would be killed within minutes. As a result, other Guilds found it very difficult to survive in Star-Moon City.
To independent players, however, the situation had not changed much. They had simply switched to different Guilds. Originally, they had avoided high-resource maps, choosing to grind and level in the normal areas. Moreover, even if Heaven's Burial and Blackwater worked together, they did not have enough manpower to occupy the normal areas.
The various large Guilds had monopolized high-resource maps because of the abundance of resources. By doing so, their members could level up faster and maintain their level advantage. At the same time, they could collect more materials. Occupying the normal areas was pointless.
Not only had Blackwater obtained Ouroboros's foundation, but it had also merged with many other large Guilds.
Almost overnight, the overlords of nearly 30 NP cities had been replaced by Blackwater.
When Shifeng received Shiuse Qiangwei's notification, he was shocked. He had never imagined that the Blackwater Consortium would act so decisively. Moreover, the Blackwater Consortium had managed to take over so many cities in one go without bursting. Moreover, the Blackwater Consortium's management was still in good order. The Blackwater Consortium had even continued to recruit Guild members in the various major cities. Unlike other Guilds, when they suddenly took over a normal NP city, they had to spend a lot of time to digest and consolidate their resources before they could take over another city. Take the Ling YI Society for example.
The fact that the Blackwater Consortium had managed to accomplish this showed just how frightening the Blackwater Consortium's foundations were.
Shiuse Qiangwei had a headache over this matter.
Ling Yi had finally stabilized its position as the number one guild in the Starmoon Kingdom and started to expand to the outside world. Now, such a behemoth had appeared in the Starmoon Kingdom. They had even publicly announced that they were going to war with Ling YI Society. It was either you die or I die.
However, this was only the beginning. The Ling YI Society's members were already fighting in the fields several times more than usual. As the Blackwater Consortium continued to grow, the number of field battles would definitely increase. This would severely affect the leveling speed of the Guild members.
However, Shifeng was not surprised.
In Shi Feng's previous life, the Blackwater Consortium had only been half as strong as it had been during its heyday. The Blackwater Consortium had only started focusing on God's Domain a long time ago. In the end, it had still managed to develop its own Guild into a Super Guild. The Blackwater Consortium's foundation was simply too robust. It also had advantages that other consortiums did not have.
Currently, the Blackwater Consortium was still at its peak. Now that it had entered God's Domain, it wasn't surprising that the Blackwater Consortium would perform so well.
While Shifeng was resting at the top of the staircase, Shiuse Qiangwei approached him.
"Guild Leader, not long ago, the Blackwater Trading Firm, a subsidiary of the Blackwater Guild, and the Heavenly Trading Firm, a subsidiary of the Sky Burial Society, have begun forcefully lowering their prices. They have even introduced two new products that are extremely competitive. One is the Cast Steel Armor Kit, while the other is the Mana Mixture. Although they are not selling many of these products at the moment, many of Candlelight's customers are running to these two trading firms to purchase their products," Shiuse Qiangwei said worriedly. "Should we lower our prices as well? After all, we have more Advanced Lifestyle players than these two trading firms. Our production costs are slightly lower than theirs. "
In just two short days, Shiuse Qiangwei had been rendered speechless by the Blackwater Consortium's actions.
Blackwater had used one method after another to deal with Zero Wing. Blackwater had done many things without regard for cost. Now, it had begun to target the Candlelight Trading Firm as well. If Zero Wing's funds weren't guaranteed, it would only be a matter of time before the Blackwater Corporation killed it.
Shi Feng had to admit that Guilds with capital were amazing. Meanwhile, Guilds with both capital and strength were even more amazing.
Even Candlelight's current Advanced Lifestyle players were incapable of creating their own armor kits and potions.
The Cast Steel Armor Kit was much more powerful than the Basic Strengthened Armor Kit. In terms of Defense, it could rival the Intermediate Mana Armor Kit, providing 180 points of Defense. As for the Basic Attributes it provided, it was roughly the same as the Basic Strengthened Armor Kit. However, there was one aspect that the Basic Strengthened Armor Kit couldn't compare to.
Damage reduction!
When bound to a Cast Steel Armor Kit, players could reduce the damage they received by 1%. A maximum of three Cast Steel Armor Kits could be bound to a maximum of three Cast Steel Armor Kits.
Although 3% damage reduction didn't seem like much, it would be very effective against an SS. After all, an MT's normal Passive Skill only reduced damage by 5%. Meanwhile, MT Passive Skill Books on the market were extremely rare and valuable. Any random Skill Book sold for 10 Gold or more. Even so, the various large Guilds and Workshops kept these Passive Skills for themselves. After all, Skills were different from weapons and equipment. Even after players reached Level 200, many Skills could still be used unless they found a more advanced Skill to replace them. However, that was easier said than done.
As for the Mana Mixture, it was an indispensable potion for magical classes.
The Mana Mixture increased a player's maximum Mana by 10% for two hours. It had no Cooldown and could not be stacked.
Mana was a magical class player's second life. The effect of increasing a player's maximum Mana by 10% was self-evident. It was especially true for healers. An additional 10% of their Mana was equivalent to increasing their total healing capacity by 10%, allowing them to last longer in a Dungeon.
The moment these two weapons of mass destruction were revealed, nearly half of Candlelight's customers fled …
To Candlelight, reducing the price of common items was nothing. However, these two weapons of mass destruction posed a huge threat to Candlelight. In addition, the Blackwater Trading Firm and the Heavenly Trading Firm had joined forces. The Blackwater Trading Firm's market share was far greater than Candlelight's.
"Do you know how much they're selling for?" Shifeng asked unhurriedly.
In the past, these two items had also appeared in God's Domain. However, they hadn't appeared so early. Moreover, they had been the weapons the Sky Burial Society had used to dominate the Starmoon Kingdom during its rise to power.
He hadn't expected them to appear so soon in this life.
"They're very cheap. A Cast Steel Armor Kit costs 1 Gold, 50 Silver, while a bottle of Mana Mixture costs 12 Silver. They're clearly trying to invade the market. Moreover, they've created these products themselves. As more people learn how to make them, they'll sell more of them," Shiuse Qiangwei said.
"They're that cheap?" Shifeng could not help his surprise.
He clearly remembered that these two items had been considerably expensive in the past. They definitely weren't sold at such a cheap price.
